In an advance clip, the crew throw it way back to their wild youths, with Alba and will.i.am reminiscing fondly about the underground parties they used to attend. (Paltrow, it seems, wasn’t running in the same crowd.) “I wish we were going to, like, Coachella or something, instead of the airport,” will.i.am sighs in the car, as Paltrow drives. “Did you used to go to raves?” Alba asks. “I used to come out to Melrose, and then we would learn on Melrose where the rave was gonna be. Because remember when you had to go to the store… at like 10 o’clock at night, and they told you where the rave was gonna be, and it was some random-a– warehouse,” she recalled, with will.i.am nodding along with her nostalgia. “It’s like find your own adventure,” Paltrow adds. “It was the best. This was before cell phones,” will.i.am reminds everyone. They then proceed to join in a group “rave” in the car, light-up sunglasses included, to the Black Eyed Peas classic “I Gotta Feeling.” The full episode airs Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m. EST on Apple Music, alongside another new episode with Shania Twain and Dierks Bentley. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4957890/gwyneth-paltrow-carpool-karaoke/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4957890/gwyneth-paltrow-carpool-karaoke/"},"headline":"Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Alba Turn Carpool Karaoke Into a Very Fun Rave","datePublished":"2017-09-26T21:02:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:47:34.917Z","description":"The two actresses and beauty gurus are joined by Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am in a Carpool Karaoke clip focusing on the joy of raves.","url":"https://time.com/4957890/gwyneth-paltrow-carpool-karaoke/","keywords":["Newsfeed","entertainment","Gwyneth Paltrow","Late Night Television","carpool karaoke"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4957890/gwyneth-paltrow-carpool-karaoke/","name":"Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Alba Turn Carpool Karaoke Into a Very Fun Rave"}}]}] ```
